Web browser control enables compatibility view
I am using web browser control from within access to execute some ie automation tasks. Till recently everything worked ok. At my clients it still works fine. In the last few days though, the functionality broke up in my pc. I figured out that from within the web browser control, the compatibility mode has been enabled. The site I am interesting in requires latest version of ie. (>9) So, opening a site that checks the browser you use (https://www.whatismybrowser.com/) returns this : While opening up the same page from ie, return this : I have all along set the a dword “msaccess.exe” value with 1100 under reg key : Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION to set the version of ie used in web browser control. I haven’t touch anything else concerning compatibility mode (GPO, Registry, IE settings) I have a client checked that has the exact version/build of ie, and it works fine there. I use Microsoft 365 Apps for business with access version : Microsoft® Access® for Microsoft 365 MSO (16.0.14326.20702) 32-bit Client is Using Microsoft Office Professional Pluss 2016 with access version : Microsoft® Access® 2016 MSO (16.0.4513.1000) 32-bit The only update that is installed in my pc these days was the following, which it can not be uninstalled. (unfortunately for some reason system restore doesn’t work also) I found ways to enable compatibility mode for specific sites. I can’t find a way to disable compatibility mode for specific sites or, disable it at all.. I don’t know either if I can achieve this from within the control and ie automation. Can someone please help to resolve this issue?
